Use this task to update the vCenter logon credentials configured in SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere. SCV uses these credentials to access vCenter.
When the vCenter credential changes, update it in SCV so that vCenter remains registered with SCV.
For vVol backups, unregister ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere and then re-register ONTAP tools with the new password so that backups continue to work.
